Well over 40 mil. Pig bought your rings for you. Period. All of 'em that were won during his ownership. Would of had 8 if Fernando hadn't found a way to beat Righetti in '81. See, that's a completely a homegrown pitcher throwing a complete game to stop your pig from getting what would have been his third ring from us in 5 years time. I'm fully aware of this pig's ways.

scuds without Rivera - ie Homegrown talent we maybe win 1 title in the Torre era , his importance cannot be overstated

it's funny you mention Cone , pettite pitched game 5 and beat glavine in that game 1-0 , i guess he was a free agent pick up as well

i'm sure you remember jimmy key , he was a free agent as well who beat greg maddux who turned down yankee $$$ and took turner $$$ after leaving chicago - 1 pig beating another in game 6

do you think the braves win every year w/o maddux during the run in the 90's and 00's?

as for Righetti , he didn't get any rings at all , he was a rookie the same year as Fernando

Pettite , Jeter , Posoda , Rivera , Williams = all homegrown talent

that was the main core of the team and w/o Rivera , i honestly don't know how many we win
